4:45 am
in fact, the weather is going to warm up and maybe 70s around the bay area. temperatures around the state you will see 60s into the central valley, showers just about everywhere you go. by the afternoon that will start to taper off, although watch out if you are planning to head to the high country winter weather advisories, upwards of 5" of snow, snow level 7,000 feet, gusty winds to 65 miles per hour. around the bay area today, talking highs only in the 60s but not bad. next couple of days we dry things out. this is it. it looks like tomorrow will be very nice. lots of sunshine, some 70s friday and saturday, and dry weather continuing right through the weekend. of course, if you want more on the hi-def doppler radar, see if it's in your neighborhood, check it out at cbssf.com/weather. then you will see your hi-def doppler for your neighborhood right there. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> cool stuff. get traffic information on our website, as well. if you are about to head off four your morning drive it's

4:49 am
point she was tasered and then becomes unconscious loses her pulse and then is in sudden cardiac death. how can you tell me that using a taser is completely benign especially when we have it on videotape. >> in a statement, the chp says the use of the taser appeared to be within their policy. the woman was later charged with resisting arrest. she is planning to sue the chp. a santa clara county supervisor is under investigation by the district attorney's office. board president george shirakawa is accused of violating state campaign ethics laws and misusing public funds. he is not denying allegation he wasted taxpayer money on fancy meals, resorts and political contributions. >> i don't want you to be distracted by the political lynching that you read today and continue to read about in the print media. i want you to understand that for 50 years, i have been nurtured and raised and lived in peace in this community.

yes, that would include a closet and a bathroom and a not so palatial bedroom. the projected rent not so small, though, up to $1,700 a month for a shoe box. >> $1,700. amazing. like a growing child that can finally stand on its own, $6.3 billion legs, the bay bridge is suspended no longer sitting on support towers you see below it. the process of shifting the weight off of the temporary support took about three months. now the weight of the bridge is supported by a single one-mile- long cable. >> this is the main cable that's doing all the heavy lifting now. it's made up of 17,399 five millimeter diameter wires that run from one end of the bridge to the top of the tower around the back and connects back on the other side. what that means is that this bridge holds itself up the cable actually connecting into its deck. >> what makes this bridge unique is that the cables are all draped from that one single

4:56 am
counter birth control without any medical oversight will lead to misuse. some say this artistic exhibit in texas is creepy. >> i think so. it's a public bathroom with completely see-through walls. it's modeled after an italian art exhibit. it's the first of its kind in the united states. and you can pretty much see the crowd hanging outside but they can't see you. >> that's good. >> i think it's really unique and i have been standing outside long enough to know that i could not see in so it wasn't too bad but it was crazy having four men locking in the door.
